Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and allspice in a food processor to combine. Add the butter; pulse several times until it looks like coarse meal. Add the vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water; pulse a few more times until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap; press into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing the dough into the bottom and up the side. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
- Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to the hot baking sheet and bake until lightly golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is golden all over, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely; leave the baking sheet in the oven.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour into the cooled crust and return to the hot baking sheet in the oven. Bake until set around the edge but the center still jiggles slightly, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to the rack and let cool completely.
- Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pie with the whipped cream.

Reviews
Answer to your question: The ingredients list is really messed up. One cup of heavy whipping cream goes in the pie, and one cup goes in the whipped cream!
This pie is absolutely delicious, and the cinnamon whipped cream is the best I’ve ever tasted!! The spiced crust is delicious, too. I am definitely going to make this again, and I definitely recommend it!
Question: The filing calls for heavy cream in the write up but it is not in the ingredient list. How much heavy cream is called for?
This review is just for the filling. It was a hit both at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.
Before baked, it was SO watery, DH worryingly said we’d probably have to make another one for our pumpkin-pie-loving guests using a different recipe. But the end result was perfect.
I modified the crust recipe — used 1 part shortening 2 part butter– only because I know it yields the texture my family likes.
